Destination Wedding: Michelle And Todd at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina

On Saturday I was at the historic Biltmore Estate for Michelle & Todd’s wedding. I escaped Alaska just in time to miss the first snowfall and was immediately reminded of what southern heat and humidity feels like. Former Chugach Peaks’er Nick Gillespie has setup shop in Asheville, NC as Blue Bend Photography and booked a few weddings for me. You might recall he was in Alaska with us for some time doing weddings for the Peaks’… Despite a morning rain-shower and a hot and humid afternoon, the day went amazingly and I got some great images. It was fun to be back in the states for a big formal wedding – Alaska weddings are usually less formal and more chill. This one was actually pretty chill by southern standards which was nice.. Michelle & Todd were married in the Butterfly Gardens. Beforehand, we had a couple hours to go wander the grounds of the estate, which have some of the prettiest spots I’ve seen. The day before the wedding I went to hang out with the guys while they shot skeet at the shooting range. Check out the pics below!
